If he moves up in the box, a 90+ mph fastball is probably going to be almost as low as if he didn't move up, unless it was a Roy Halladay sinking fastball. The inside-outside corner is more relative because batters can adjust their distance from the plate. Will moving up in the box really help the batter hit a fastball before it reaches the hallow?

A batter's box is 4'x6'. A batter has more adjustment room from the pitcher than the plate, amigo.

Strike.
